My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 814 Exquisite
Qing'anfang

Under the burdock tree.

Chen Mu reached out and stroked the exquisite jade plate.

This thing had been with him for two or three decades, helping him through many difficult times. Once it was devoured by Yama, the jade plate would disappear completely.

As the moment came to take action, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a little reluctant and hesitant.

It took him a while to suppress that faint sense of melancholy.

He took a deep breath, and the Yin Spirit Embryo spun rapidly, its nine hidden orifices trembling in unison. Wisps of black smoke rose and spread from his palm, slowly enveloping the exquisite jade plate.

Chen Mu closed his eyes, maintaining the output of Yin Spiritual Power. A series of subtle insights slowly surfaced in his mind.

A moment later, the black smoke dissipated, and the exquisite jade plate in his hand had completely disappeared.

Chen Mu opened his eyes and looked at the gray stone door that appeared before him.

The Exquisite Heavenly Secrets Mantra: 131/10000;

Weapon crafting skill (Exquisite Jade Plate): 639/10000;

"fortunately……"

"Well, it can be considered that it was used to its fullest potential."

……

The next day.

At the same time, Chen Mu lay under the burdock tree.

After a day of familiarizing himself with it, he had gained a completely new understanding of the exquisite jade plate.

The Exquisite Heavenly Secrets Mantra is the core of the Exquisite Jade Disc. It can penetrate the workings of heaven and earth, steal heavenly secrets, and transform them into the earth's spiritual energy.

Because of this incantation, the Linglong Jade Plate can generate earth spirit energy, whether in the Hundred Intent Heaven or the Netherworld.

"Linglong? Is it related to the ancient Linglong Dao?"

"Tsk, Linglongdao is amazing."

"It's a pity that such a beautiful and exquisite path is gone," Chen Mu lamented.

Compared to the Exquisite Heavenly Secrets Incantation, the Exquisite Jade Plate Refining Technique is considerably inferior.

Apart from a rather exquisite diagram of the structure of a jade plate, the other material recipes, smelting incantations, etc., seem rather ordinary.

According to the art of artifact crafting, the materials used to craft the jade disc are not fixed and can be chosen according to local conditions, as long as they can withstand the exquisite celestial incantation.

The original jade plate was not made of any precious material; it was a type of material called "San Guang Yu" (三光玉).

It is not a natural mineral, but an artificial jade made by refining and fusing three materials that each contain the essence of the sun, moon and stars.

The main material of Baiyitian's universal currency, the white jade coin, is Sanguang jade.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

Chen Mu chuckled, then pulled out a wooden box and opened it, revealing it to be full of white jade coins.

There were more than a dozen similar wooden crates piled up in a corner of the three-story wooden building in the center of Qiandeng City.

"Fifty-nine thousand seven."

"It's not much, but it's definitely enough to refine the exquisite jade plate."

These white jade pieces were mostly accumulated over many years, while the majority came from Zhifeng Peak at the tail end of Jiufeng Mountain in Yizhou.

When he was the peak master there, half of the white jade coins nurtured by the spiritual spring of Weizhi Peak were his share of the profits.

Unfortunately, he didn't hold the position for long before the Battle of the Mysterious Heaven began; otherwise, he could have accumulated even more white jade.

"With the secret technique in hand and no shortage of materials, all that's left is to keep grinding."

"I'm good at grinding experience points."

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, clasped his hands together, and cracked his knuckles.

……

More than ten days later.

Under the burdock tree, Chen Mu sat on a small bamboo chair.

He grabbed a handful of white jade coins from the wooden box at his feet and tossed them into the air. He then used his Qi to compress them into fine powder.

The exquisite jade plate was used to refine artifacts, and the powder quickly liquefied and fused together.

The incantation changed again, and invisible threads were drawn from the jade liquid. Then, under the control of the incantation, they were woven together according to the structural pattern of the exquisite jade plate.

The process is very similar to internal cultivation of spiritual treasures, except that spiritual treasures use innate primordial energy, while the exquisite jade plate uses three-light jade.

sizzle...

The silk threads piled up and merged, making a soft sound.

Half an hour later, a jade plate the size of a face and a finger's thickness gradually took shape.

Its surface is uneven, and it has a lot of cotton-like structures inside, so it doesn't look very pure.

Chen Mu used the Seal of Life and Death to probe into it, carefully observing and comparing it for a while before confirming that the jade plate in his hand barely met the structural requirements of the catalog.

"There are quite a few flaws, but it should be usable, so it can be considered a success." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, he continued his Qi cultivation in the mornings and spent his afternoons practicing the Refining Technique of the Exquisite Jade Disc.

I originally thought I could master it in five or six days, but it took me half a month and more than two thousand pieces of white jade to finally refine my first usable magic weapon.

"Just one last step." Chen Mu steadied himself, and a ball of magical power appeared in his palm.

The jade seed's inner essence of the exquisite celestial secret magic spell talisman vibrated, and the magic power in the palm of the hand deformed accordingly, quickly outlining an identical exquisite celestial secret magic talisman.

The talisman immediately converged and transformed into a small bead the size of a mung bean, shimmering with silver light.

Chen Mu used his index finger to press the magic star bead into the center of the jade plate blank.

brush!
As if taking root and sprouting, the light spots fell into the jade plate and immediately blossomed into dense, root-like patterns.

hum!
The entire jade plate vibrated and hummed continuously before returning to calm after a while.

At this moment, numerous faint silver star-like patterns had appeared inside the white jade disc.

Chen Mu took out a white jade coin and placed it nervously in the center of the jade plate.

Before long, wisps of earth spirit energy emerged around the cloud disk.

"Although it's not as efficient as the original, I've mastered it!" Chen Mu smiled.

If you can master one, you can master the second.

If enough exquisite jade plates are stacked, it might be enough to support my daily extraction of pure yang energy.

"It seems there's no need to rush to leave White Bird City, hehe..."

……

With his energy secured, Chen Mu felt less anxious.

He continued his Qi cultivation every morning, and in the afternoon he practiced the Jade Plate Refining Technique and the Exquisite Heavenly Secrets Spell. Every few days, he would go to Fanlou to drink tea and listen to music, while also keeping an eye on current events in White Bird City.

As his cultivation progressed day by day, he lived a peaceful life and gradually integrated into White Bird City. More than half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the two brothers, Duocai and Duobao, came to visit again.

Chen Mu had previously hired two people using artificial longevity rice to collect various information about Misty Ridge. Over the past year, the two had found him quite a lot of things.

There are records of the origins of White Bird City, anecdotes about its lord Lu Gong, and some scattered maps. Most of the maps record the basic terrain around White Bird City. The most detailed one is a route map leading to Wuxiang City, a great city deep in Misty Ridge.

Chen Mu thought they had come to deliver documents as usual, but he didn't expect them to be saying goodbye.

"You're going to Wuxiang City?" Chen Mu asked in surprise.

"Yes, we've mastered supernatural powers!" The excitement in Duobao's eyes, both big and small, was impossible to hide.

"Because of the One Heart Sutra?" Chen Mu's heart stirred, and he made a guess.

"We just wanted to give it a try," Bald Rich chuckled. "We never expected to gain supernatural powers without even realizing it."

"In the end, it is still my brother and I who are exceptionally talented!"

"My future was completely ruined by the 'Rootless Sutra'!" he said with absolute certainty.

Chen Mu: "..."

You two are such misfits?
One is bald, the other has uneven eyes, they act recklessly and don't seem very smart, yet they're said to be exceptionally gifted?

"The supernatural power is called Listening to the Wind."

"Calling me 'Ears-Follower' is also acceptable."

"We each got half."

"When used together, we can hear every rustle of grass within a ten-mile radius!" The two of them enthusiastically introduced the supernatural power they had just acquired.

Chen Mu's expression grew increasingly strange as he listened.

These two brothers were born with only one ear, one with only a left ear and the other with only a right ear. As a result, the supernatural power they awakened was called "Follow-the-Wind Ear".
What a fuss!

Moreover, the supernatural power is divided into two, one half for each person, and only when the two people work together can it be considered complete.
Are you two here to be funny?

"Do not believe?"

"You wait, we'll show you right now." The two of them immediately started making hand seals, stamping their feet, and chanting incantations.

As a result, the two brothers kept thinking for a quarter of an hour, their faces turning red from holding their breath, but nothing unusual happened.

After another quarter of an hour, just as Chen Mu was about to lose patience, a strange aura suddenly emerged above their heads and then swooped into their bodies.

The two people's ears immediately swelled up to the size of a palm, becoming prominent ears.

"It's done! Haha!"

The two brothers shouted excitedly.

Chen Mu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He never expected that the seemingly ridiculous supernatural power would actually work.

What surprised him even more was that the Yin Spirit Embryo, which had been peacefully residing in the secret acupoint between his eyebrows, actually reacted to that hidden aura just now.

Urgent, eager, restless.

It's like... like someone who's been starving for a long time has stumbled upon a pot of glistening, juicy braised pork!
